Born in September - Your Characteristics

By Dr. Louis Turi

The month of September is governed by the planet Mercury and by the critical sign of Virgo. You are an intellectual, very critical and picky and you tend to work too hard. You are a master of communication and the option to become a speaker or a great writer is offered to you. You may also misuse this power and become sarcastic to others. You will always combine logic and intuition in dealing with life in general.

Astrologically, you have been classified as the "perfectionists". You can do well in the fields of medicine, law, teaching, writing, designing, and office work, and you are in some areas a refined artist. Your downfall is sarcasm and an overly concerned attitude with trivial matters. Some young Mercurial souls are overwhelmed with health matters and turn themselves into health lunatics. Others simply refuse to work and succumb to chemical drug and alcohol abuse. Letting the rational mind scrutinize everything can hinder your spiritual gifts and neutralize your cosmic consciousness.

You have inherited a powerful investigative mind that could lead you to science, chemicals, research, radio, television, newspaper reporting, computer programming and the law. Advanced souls are great mental leaders and masters in communication. Robert Shapiro and Marcia Clark (O.J. Simpson trial attorneys) are Virgos and indicative of your intellectual potential pertaining to investigation and the law. You may be prone to headaches or head injury, eye and sinus problems. Be aware of your environment in public places. You are prone to poisoning and are strongly advised to keep away from alcohol and narcotics. Also, be aware, diets that are too restrictive may cause just as many problems as over-indulgence.

Your body and metabolism are both well equipped to deal with all types of food, including red meat. If your natural desire for perfection prevails and you eliminate this "red" source of food, you must then substitute it with different red foods such as red wine, hot peppers or other thermogenic foods. If you happen to suffer headaches or migraines, you may find relief by walking barefoot on the grass (or close to a body of water) to regenerate from the earth's magnetic field.

As a rule all souls born in September are accident prone to head trauma and violent death. Therefore, if you were born in September, do not take chances, especially during or after the Full Moon. Keep in mind to respect the Universal Law, as your awareness of the Mercury/Moon planning will become a major contribution for happiness. The location of your natal Dragon's Head or Tail will seriously alter the strengths or weakness of Mercury in your chart.
